One Clients Perspective

I struggled working in my business for several years, with great financial success, but I was unhappy. When I started working with you, you helped me clarify my life priorities and focus my business and talent to be more fulfilled.  Once I had that clarity and took action I've been amazed how easy, straightforward, and fun life can be.

My business has tripled in the three years since we've worked together and now instead of being frustrated, I'm continually amazed at the opportunities that come my way, and my ability to make choices about them. Thank you!

Key Opportunities for Improvement

Overriding issues impacting business performance today are how well the business team communicates, aligns around top initiatives, creates short-term and long-term plans, and holds themselves accountable to deliver results.

Increased competency with language and emotions leads directly to more effective leadership, increased trust, accountability and improved team performance.

Communication breakdowns that are addressed:

  • Requests are made but promises are not kept.
  • Lack of accountability – deadlines missed – customers are dissatisfied.
  • Employee frustration level high and morale low because of broken promises and conflicts.

Results You Will Experience

  • Management and employees develop an awareness and understanding of how critical making clear requests, and receiving promises you can count on, are to improving performance.
  • Ability to clear up problems faster using a common language everyone understands.
  • Improved profitability as a result of a reduction in breakdowns, reworks, and improved employee morale.
    • Less “fire fighting” and “rescue team” work
  • Improved personal accountability.
    • People take responsibility for themselves and their actions
    • People effectively manage their promises
    • People become effective at making clear requests
  • Approaches to reduce or eliminate “linguistic viruses” that impact performance.
    • Reduction in frustration of people not effectively managing their promises
  • Ability to enter into conversations to manage broken promise.

Stepping Through The Gate brings you an experiential learning approach that helps your organization embody the learning so it comes naturally, i.e. the mind understands, the body takes action.

Our customized approach has you learn in “little’s over time” vs. trying to absorb a fire hose of information to create culture change. . We develop Linguistic and Emotional intelligence to improve promise management, address the linguistic viruses that are prevalent in the culture and provide visual tools to allow participants to easily refer back to key points and share information with staff.
